For starters, head over to the Galaxy s2 forums and read some threads there.

Hey mate, you are in the wrong section. Go to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204 and have a look. There are a number of threads about ICS there that should be able to help.

There are instructions, faq and etc all over the forum. A simple search and careful reading is all thats needed (even if you are a 'nob'). If you cant do that, its just better not to root or flash anything on your phone since you may just end up ruining your phone.

need help

Hi, guys.. Let me introduce myself..
I am one of the extreme noobs you hate, and I hate doing this to you.. but I couldn't find another way then posting for help..
Here's my problem..
I recently got a Kaiser, with a 8Gb SDHC card,and wanted to install Android for it.. I read all the guides, and thought I could manage myself..
I choose a Haret version, to see how the Android works, and then maybe later do a Nand version ( all you guys keep telling its the better choice ) .
I choose Scoot_CyanogenMod_7.1.0_RLS3 android version first.. but as i couldn't install it.. i downloaded a Incubus26Jc's version Super Froyo RLS15 version..
I did all the guide said.. downloaded atools, started it choose the device, resolution and the version... ( i didnt know what to choose, Develop or Stable version, so i tried both ) .. On the panel type , i choose 2 .. On key map i choose Normal .. on FStab i choose Partition 2 on all the tabs.. I did all the steps in rom mix .. downloaded a haret.. In boot scripts editor I choose partition 2 again, checked the Install system, Fix permission, clear Davik cache and Use SD partitioner.. Divided the sd card on two partitions.. Saved all the files.. And tried several times.. And I still cant install the freaking android..
Maybe my problem is i dont have a working brain.. i dont know..
Anyhow.. if anybody wants to help me.. please give any advice ..
Thanks in advance.

I made some pics of what I'm doing, so if anybody sees where I am mistaking, pls let me know.

Maybe something is wrong with my kernel.. i dont even know how to check my kernel version.. When I check my settings, in section named about.. I see this
CE OS 5.2. 19212 (Build 19212.1.0.3)
and in the Device Information
ROM version: 3.29.422.1.WWE
ROM date: 05/20/08
Radio version: 1.65.20.29
..any comment or suggestion would be nice..

same issues as me!!!

really.. so im not alone
Did you manage to achieve something.. I'am still trying.. I am choosing the right settings, but when haret starts booting, after a while it start doing same step over and over again..

I don't see startup.txt and haret in your directory
Your partitions "system" and "data" are at the same place

Haret is there, i forgot to take a pic after putting haret in the andboot folder.. I'am using haret-for-kernel-2-6-32 version btw..
What is a startup.txt .. i haven't seen that step in the installation guide ?
And I didn't realize that system and data should be at different places.. I thought I should put them both in partition 2.. Where should I place them ??
Thanks a lot for taking a look at my problem. :)

I don't use partitions, so no help on that case specifficaly.
startup.txt is what makes your phone to boot... u need it!
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------
this is the guide I used

If the startup.txt is same as default.txt document.. then I have it..

I did it .. finally installed Incubus26Jcs Super FroYo .. Doesn't look bad..Thanks everybody for helping !

you're welcome

Thank you..........

Ok guys, so after reading this forum for some time, I managed to install Android, using NAND.. and I'm very thankful for all the help i got from this forum.. but, i have some problems.. Some applications ain't working, or they are reaaaaly slow.. like Viber, Skype .. and some other more demanding apps.. My question to all you guys that are running Android on Kaiser is : What's your experience with it, and what's your setup?
Maybe Kaiser is just to slow for some apps, and only solution is to overclock it using Rogue tools, or to find the optimal set-up ?
Anyway, i'm running My Modified Fresh Froyo Release 20-2-2011, with clemsyn's kernel.. and my radio version is 1.70.19.09.

Dude, this phone is 5 years old, u gotta understand and Viber, Skype! those are some heavy apps
Well, my kaiser is real smooth, with launcher pro, it's delicious But calculating takes a while, like opening apps, sending messages trough the internet, playing games...
I'm running same radio, same rom, and kernel...well that kernel's old! use liquid's kernel! It's the newest one on the atools! BUT for this you need to make a androidupdate.tgz or .tar just go into recovery and after installing the system install the update
the link for kernel and update attached is here with the update attached on the second post! Good Luck! NOw I gotta poop! xD

Yeah, I know it's old.. just wanted to check with other people..
Tnx a lot for your help, will try l1qu1d kernel and update !!

Don't forget to make the androidupdatet.gz or it willl say it failed! Didn't you use that kernel on the SD? Cause if you did, you also had to apply the update

Why the hell aren't people looking where they are posting?! This is the HTC ONE help and troubleshooting.

I've never seen anything like this before. It's like people are blindfolded and arbitrarily picking a place to post questions.

All the posts are by noob accounts. Probalby someone just trolling this section.

But it's not like like blindfolded and arbitrary. Accidents just don't happen with this frequency. It's more like it's coordinated and intentional (I'm not saying it is, just saying the volume suggests that).
From my Evo LTE, yup.

I'm guessing the reason so many people are doing it here is because on default view, the HTC One is at the top of the list of devices, and so idiots like OP just click the links for the One, thinking it's their phone.

Cant noobs be locked down to only post in the android general section until their post count is high enough to realize where they should or shouldn't be posting?
And there is a big picture of the HTC One device for this section surely that should be a fairly small clue!

Saving memory trick

Hi all
I wanna thank This Forum For Helping me to Mange all my Android Phones And Tablet That I'm using..
Recently I Manged to Make my wife to use An android phone ( Samsung ACE s5830i ) as a first step to make here a fan of android Samsung instead of NOKIA
i found a big problem that happened with me before that the internal memory is very small and i couldn't install so much programmes from the store so i used an old trick that i used be4 with my android VPAD 7 which is:
1. make root to the phone ( you will find it in the development section)
2. i used a 4 GB microSD card formatted it to 2 partions primary FAT32 ( the 2nd one is 1024 mb).
3. put it on phone and install the LINK2SD program from the market. when it 1st open it will ask for the second portion type choose FAT32.
4. it will relink many files the belong to the internal memory to the SD card and also you can install the proggrames to the SD card but not all programes the supported ones
this will save alot of space on the internal memory
I hope that Help

Keep the guides coming if you think it's helpful ^_^
Try searching first, tho - if you find none, go ahead! If you do, and think it's important to bring it back to attention, feel free to share it in the off topic thread, or bump the topic with new information (a note that you're aware of bumping and doing it for a good reason is usually a good idea).
